After 10 years of fighting, UFC bonus collector Sam Stout has learned to pace himself.

On Saturday the Canadian meets U.K. product Paul Taylor (10-5 MMA, 3-4 UFC) at UFC 121 in Taylor's first fight at 155 pounds.

And while Stout (15-6-1 MMA, 4-5 UFC) says he's refined his preparation for the demands of high-profile fights, he believes Taylor may have a rough go of it across the pond.

"There's a lot of things that factor into this fight, and a lot of them play in our favor," Stout told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio) while serving as an in-studio guest with trainer Shawn Tompkins. "I think it's going to be a good night for me."
